TEXAS SLANDERED.
Gov. Ireland Tells the Real Facts in
the Bloody Shirt Case.


the Bloody Shirt Case.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 14.--Ex-Gov. Ireland, OF
Texas, accompanied by twenty-eight
citizens of Washington county, Tex,
passed through this city yesterday on
his way to Washington, where he and
his companions will appear before the
Senate committee which will investigate
the charges of election outrages made
against citizens of Washington county
by those Republicans who fled from the
country for fear of being lynched, and
who claim to have been driven
out by Democrats. The ex-Gov-
ernor says that at the close of the
election In Washington county, Dewes
Bolton, the son OF the candidate for Coun-
ty Commissioner, rode up to the precinct,
dismOunted and demanded admittance to
the polls. He was told to come in, and
upon opening the door was shot down in
his tracks by negro named Hill. Eight
OF the occupants of the room were ar
rested and three OF them were subse-
quently lynched. The others fed from the
country for fear of being similarly
treated and brought charge against the
Democrats that they were driven out.
The Ex-Governor said: "The whole story
of these men is pure fabrication. Every
statement they have made to show that
they were the objects OF political persecu-
tion is absolutely false, and that Will be
easy to prove by all these witnesses,
They were not driven from the county,
but left of their own free will"
